How do RIA mouthpieces work on Bari. Im currently using a M7 metalite on a couf bari. I heard this guy playing a metal RIA on bari and he sounded great. Are they versatile pieces. Which works better on Bari the metal or rubber?

RIAs will be a little darker than your M7. They are good on bari, but I think they take a little more air to drive them. Any material is good. Some older ones come in a hard Aluminum which are also good. I like a little more baffle than these pieces have, but that is a personal sound taste thing.
I play a hard rubber RIA 10*. I agree with Mojo that these pieces benefit from a little extra baffle. I use one of Mojo's epoxy wedges in mine and the little bit of extra cut it produces brings the piece close to perfection for me. Plenty of power plus it can get a nice mellow sound that works well in a section.

I have aluminium RIA around .120 I got from Mojobari.It comes to life with the removable baffle by Mojobari,without baffle it has medium-bright sound.
